Smile Assessment WhatsAppFAQs
Your Orthodontic Questions, Answered
Common questions about braces, aligners, treatment time, age, cost, and care.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel mild soreness for a few days after placement and adjustments, which is normal and manageable. It usually settles quickly.
How long does treatment take?
It varies by case. Many treatments fall within a common range, and your orthodontist will give a personalized estimate after assessment.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Adults can be treated successfully at almost any age as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For suitable mild to moderate cases, aligners work very well. Complex cases may be better treated with braces. A consultation determines the best option.
What is the best age for a child’s first visit?
Around age 7 is ideal for a first orthodontic check, so growth and bite issues can be caught early.
Do you offer installment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible installment options to make treatment more affordable. Details are shared during consultation.
How much do braces cost?
Cost depends on the treatment type and complexity of your case. Metal braces are usually the most economical, while ceramic braces and clear aligners may cost more. We share transparent pricing guidance during your consultation and offer flexible installments. Exact pricing is confirmed after a clinical assessment.
What should I do in an orthodontic emergency?
For poking wires use orthodontic wax; for broken brackets keep the area clean and contact us. We provide emergency orthodontic support.
